'Happy Hallothanksmas' Concert Nov. 19

Do you ever feel like the holidays are running together this time of year? We have so many celebrations and they seem to overlap! Well, get ready for a fun ride as the Southern Ozarks Community Orchestra intentionally meshes the holidays together with a “Happy Hallothanksmas” concert. SOCO will be in concert at the Star Theater on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 7:00 p.m. to add lots of fun to your holidays.
SOCO is sponsored by the Willow Springs Arts Council and is in its thirteenth year of presenting live orchestra performances to the community.
Members include retirees, students, music educators, professional and non-professional musicians with a love for performing live concerts. The group of thirty volunteer musicians come from West Plains, Mtn. View, Ava, Willow Springs, Cabool, Mtn. Grove, Houston, and Licking. Ms. Jodie Forbes has been director/conductor of the orchestra since 2017. She retired from the Houston School District and has taught in public schools for over 30 years. She is currently band director for the Willow Springs School District.
Music featured in the concert will be “A Rockin’ Halloween” featuring Ghostbusters, Scooby-Doo, Where are You? and Monster Mash, “The Addams Family“, followed by “Armed Forces – Pride of America” and “Lest We Forget” as a Veteran’s Day salute! “Ashokan Farewell” and “Shaker Variants” and “Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 Pastoral” will put us in a Thanksgiving mood. The second half of the program will be all Christmas music and include “A Most Wonderful Christmas”, “Sleigh Ride”, “Frosty the Snowman”, “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24” and other favorites.
Tickets will be available at the door and are $8 for adults while children under 12 are Free. All Veterans will be admitted free of charge.
